The objective of this competition is to create an image that will honor pumpkins in a Halloween environment.

This image can be created via Photoshop, Gimp, or 3d modeling tools like Blender, Maya, ... (composition). Second Life may of course be used. But a simple snapshot will not be enough. This snapshot has to be worked on, adding elements, other pictures,...

The winner will be named based on creativity, originality and aesthetics. Amaze us!
Many gifts will be offered to the winner, but although it is always fun to have gifts (we, too, love gifts), the objective of this competition is especially for the pleasure of creativity.

The winner will be chosen by a jury, all well know people of Second Life. So it will not be a public vote. This will avoid becoming a friends competition rather than art competition :)

The image should be uploaded to a Flickr group.

This announcement is for a pre-registration to see if we have enough participants. More information will come when we open Pumpkin Town (1 October 2016).

Pumpkin Town is a halloween theme village. Witches, skeletons, zombies, monsters of all kinds… and pumpkins ... are waiting you!

A village which exist in SL since 7 years!

A village to visit, but also a place where you can go shopping and find freebies. Of course, everything will be in the Halloween spirit...

But there is more! Like with all of our villages, we will organize concerts, Djsets, shows, storytellings, small contests, etc...
You can also have fun with our Little Monster Hunt, or watching a good old horror movie (all the movies that will be released are in the public domain)

Open from 1 October until 31 October, Pumpkin Town will be the place where you are sure to find something fun!

Oh yes! Another point: With Pumpkin Town you can also support the Feed a Smile group (the ONG “Live and learn in Kenya”).

Pumpkin Town was nominated in 2014 and 2015 for the best event of the year at the Avi Choice Awards

Pumpkin Town was created by Taylor Flanagan and is organized by Potpourri Markets (Taylor Flanagan et chloe Seljan)

So... would you like to sponsor this event?

If so, your logo with link will be published in our blogs, we will talk about you on our Facebook page and we will put a poster with your logo in our creepy bar, where we will have some DJ parties!

We got the sim. The village is slowly rezzing out of the ground. Monsters are waking up. Taylor Flanagan is currently building the dishes in which you will be served as foods to the inhabitants of Pumpkin Town.

We will post more information and various applications soon:
- For creators and designers of course;
- But also for people who would like to sponsor our event;
- And finally for bloggers-journalists.

We also want to organize a contest. You will need to create an image (using a 3D software or Photoshop, Gimp, etc ...). Pre-registration will be opened. So we can see if there are enough participants to organize it.

We are excited to be able to organize this event. Soooo excited ... you cannot imagine how excited we are!

We already want to thank Surreal Chung, who bought a new sim, and gave it a cute name, which we will reveal later ...

Avi Choice Awards

It's time to SUBMIT YOUR NOMINEES for the 2015 Avi Choice Awards ~ SLife! This time we acknowledge and celebrate those in SL whose talent, ambition and skill provide homes, gardens, community, inspirational builds, sports, roleplay and more! We are also looking for sponsors and advertisers to join with us for the incredible program where we salute Second Life's favorites.

The Avi Choice Awards is just the opportunity and means for Second Life residents to applaud their favorites in specific categories. No one could ever say who is best at any of the categories because that is completely subjective to each individual's taste. Residents of SL who would like to acknowledge favorite builders, landscapers and creators may do so by visiting: www.avichoiceawards.com and submitting their choices. NOTE: We will notify each nominee and let them know before voting begins, that they have been nominated. In some instances, a nominee may not want to participate .. in which case we remove the nomination and respectfully honor their wishes.

The April/May issue of Avi Choice Magazine is out and is online for viewing and has also been distributed to our subscribers inworld.
